Effectiveness Of The Correlation Process

Some features of the MAC (which affect its effectiveness):• lack of scaling (so not a true orthogonality measure)• inadequate selection of DOFs• inappropriate selection of DOFs

Modified versions of the MAC:• the AutoMAC• the Mass-Normalised MAC• the Selected-DOF MAC

S. Ziaei-Rad

Inadequate Selection of Dofs in Mac

MAC using all DOFs MAC using subset of DOFs

S. Ziaei-Rad

Use of Automac to Check Adequacy of DOFs

AUTOMAC is the MAC computed from the correlation ofa set of vectors with themselves

AIUTOMAC using all DOFs AIUTOMAC using subset of DOFs

S. Ziaei-Rad

Use of Automac to Check Adequacy of DOFs

a- Automac(A) for full set of 102 DOFsb- Automac(A) for reduced set of 72 DOFsc- Automac(A) for reduced set of 30 selected DOFsd- Automac(X) for reduced set of 30 selected DOFse- MAC for reduced set of 30 DOFs

-Weighting matrix W, can be provided either by mass or stiffness matrices of the system.-The difficulty is the reduction of the mass or stiffness matrices to the size of the measured DOF-A Guyan type or a SEREP-based reduction can be used. If SEREP used then a pseudo-mass matrix of the correct size can be calculated as ][][][ TRM

Error Location - The COMAC-COMAC is a means of identifying which DOFs display the

best or the worse correlation across the structure.

-COMAC uses the same data as is used to compute the MAC

but it performs the summation of all contributions (one from

each DOF for each mode pair) across all the mode pairs

instead of across all the DOFs (as is done in the MAC)

-COMAC is defined as:

Correlation Of Other Parameters:Frequency Response Functions

The Assurance Criterion concept can be applied toany pairs of corresponding vectors (not only modeshape vectors) including FRFs - to give the FRAC -

and also to vectors of Operating Deflection Shapes, insituations where modal properties are difficult to obtain
